One of the oldest democratic congress
men from Illinois, who had much to do
with creating the commerce law, and who
for that reason says he does not want to be
quoted, gives II as his opinion that this
law will be repealed at the next session Of
congress. He says that there will be
twice as many petitions from the people
by December praying for its repeal as
were received In Its favor In years past.
He thinks 1t too complicated, and that 1t
gives to much authority to the commission
and too little benefit to shippers and trav-
elers.
Quite number of statesmen who were
prominent In bringing this law into exist
ence make the same prediction. They
think substitute bill should be passed
simply prohibiting determinations, doing
away with the commission, and giving
state courts jurisdiction. Already thous-
ands OF letters making this suggestion
have been received.
1t Is said that the commissioners have
put In claim for payment from the LIST of
January last, although they were only
commissioned In the last days of March.
The ground OF the claim Is that their re-
spective terms of Office will end with the
calendar year and the presumption must
be that they began with the year 1887.
The claim is probably a sound one and II
shows that the commissioners will in their
own affairs prefer 'long haul" to ''short
haul" every time.

GENERAL STATE NEWS.
Condition OF the Crops.

For this report returns have been re-
eived from 1000 correspondents, repre-
senting TAT townships. Six hundred
and sixty-four of these returns are from
432 townships In the southern four tiers OF
counties; and 1S2 reports are from 1853
townships In the central counties.
Correspondents very generally agree
that 1t Is yet too early to actually report
upon the condition of wheat. The wealth
er during March was extremely unfavor-
able, and warrants the expectation that
the crop has suffered severely. The fields
look ''bare and brown" Correspondents
are yet hopeful, however, that the root Is
not seriously injured. AS usual wheat on
clay and undrained lands and high knobs,
has suffered most. The weather since
April has been warmer, but II Is yet so
dry that the plant has made little IL any
growth.
Reports have been received of the guam
tity of wheat marketed by farmers during
the month of March at 21S elevators
and mills. or these 1S1 are in the
southern four tiers of counties,

81 per cent. of the whole number i'm these

of which 275, 420 bushels were marketed
in the first or southern tier Of counties;

bushels I'm the third tier, 1853, 30S bushels
in the fourth tier. 37,757 bushels In the
fifth and sixth tiers and 1850 bushels In
the northern counties. At 81 elevators
and mills, or IL per cent. OF the whole
number from which reports have been re-
ceived, there was no wheat marketed dur
ing the month.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed In August September,
October. November, December, January,
February and March, Is 10, 7sS, 001, or
about Al per cent of the crop of 1886.
The number of bushels reported marketed
In 1885 and 1886 was IL, 024, 524 or so per
cent. of the crop of 1885. For these

Could Not Apree.

The Haddock murder trial at Sioux City,
Iowa, ended in disagreement of the jury.
After the jury had been out for several
hours, Foreman f. p. Webster said that
eleven Of the jurors were agreed, but that
one stood somewhat stubbornly against the
large majority. Juror O'Connell arose and
replied to the remark In a feeling manner.
He said he did not wish to be considered
stubborn man, but that he had taken an
oath before God and man to honestly de-
termine the case as far as he was concerned
and that he had endeavored to regard that
obligation, If he were TO remain In the
jury's room a month he could not and
would not change his opinion. Mr.. O'Con-
nell's eyes filled with tears and his voice
trembled from emotion. No one who
heard him could doubt the sincerity of his
motive. Judge Lewis thereupon dis
charged the jury from further considera-
ton of the case.

A Modern Lucretla BorgIa.

A sensational poisoning case has been
unearthed In Thediord, Ont, by the ar
rest of Mrs. Martha Jane Ryckman,
charged with the murder of her sister-in-
Jaw, Mrs. Hendricks. Startling stories are
now told of the mysterious death of eight
of Mrs. Ryckson's relatives, all of whom
are now suspected to have been the victims
of poisoning at her hand. These are
Laura Ryckman, her daughter n-law,
who died last fall her sister-in-law Mrs.
Hendricks: Gray Ryckman, Laura's hus-
badd; Mrs. Ryckman's husband; John
Hackett, her son-in-law, followed soon
after by his widow and little girl. All of
these died under suspicious circumstances,
and In some cases the bodies have been
exhumed and examined. Traces of
strychnine were found upon them. The
prisoner is about so years of age, and
previous to her arrest bore good repI ia
tion. 1t Is a significant fact that she
profted financially by the death Of every
one of her relatives.

molished, trees snapped off like pipestems,
horses and cattle Frustrated and carried
hundreds Of yards by the gale, and the

ton of high license and prohibitory advo-

childred were gathered there engaged In
the pleasure of Easter egg rolling-a GUS

pickaninny, with bare feet All had eggs,
boiled and dyed, and made the air ring
with their happy shouts and merry laugh
ter as they rolled their eggs and themselves
down the grassy knobs, and chased each
other across the lawns. The President
enjoyed the spectacle very much. His
Office window opened directly over the
scene and he frequently paused In his
work to gaze upon II. Mrs. Cleveland

st. Augustine scorched.

The principal portion of the business
center of st. Augustine, Fla, was destroy
ed by fire the other morning. The fire
broke out in the laundry of the ST. Angus
tine house. The flames spread rapidly to
the kitchen and then TO the main part of
the building. The fire department con-
sisted only of hook and ladder truck and
one steam engine and ii was impossible to
do anything to save the hotel, which was
already wrapped In flames. The guests
numbering ninety, and the forty servants,
with the exception of one laundry woman,
Bridget Barry, escaped. The flames then
communicated TO the Edwards House,
1.-THE cottage" the Planters House and
to the Florida House annex. The next
buildings to go were the First National
Bank and one of the oldest landmarks
in the city-the old Spanish cathedral,
just west of the st. Augustine House. The
roof caught, and soon fell, destroying all
the historic relics In the interior. The old
chimes fell. too, their last work being the
alarm which summoned the citizens to the
scene Of conhagration. At this time the
east wall of the st. Augustine house fell,
carrying the flames TO the Sinclair block In
which were stores and shops. All were
completely destroyed. Returning to the
west side of the street the flames reached
the old county court house on the north,
which was totally destroyed. The records
however, were removed and saved. Sew
eral residences and small buildings were
also destroyed. The losses will aggregate
$3.50, 900. The old cathedral was built in
1898 and was in use for purposes of wor-
ship up to the time of its destruction.
Bridget Barry was the only person whose
life was lost. She escaped early, but re-
turned to save clothing AM was not seen
afterward. But little of the burned prop
erty was insured.
